Y’know, I’ll admit it, I kinda like WordPress. I like that I can do everything from basically a big control panel and I don’t have to upload and check & recheck shit over & over again like I end up doing with code. I like that I can just type in this here little box, hit “publish” and go about my day, knowing that what I just did is going to look exactly as intended and it’s just gonna “work”.

What I don’t like - and I’m pretty sure this is me, not WordPress - is this themes bullshit. I just do not understand them whatsoever and combined with how I also don’t understand the categories vs. pages and the hierarchy in general, it makes it absolutely impossible for me to draw a feasible layout. I don’t understand what WordPress can do and the premade themes are all just awful and uninspiring (including the piece of shit I’m using now). I know what I want, I just basically want a WordPress-ized version of the old site, but the organization is what kills me every time I try to draw it. I just don’t understand what WordPress does and therefore I don’t understand what I can do with it.

This happens to me a lot though, so I think it’s a me thing more than a WordPress thing. For example, we have a Digital Rebel, which is just too much camera for me, if that makes sense. It’s got all of these functions that I just don’t understand, which is a lot like my issues with WP.

What I like about WP is that everything I write is contained and I don’t have to deal with files and ftping when all I want to do is fucking write. That’s what I like, so that’s why I’m toughing this out (well….that and the fact that my Dreamweaver’s still FUBAR).

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I leave you with….unicorns. :D
